On Saturday, our friends Richard and Brian will tie the knot at a winery in upstate New York. We couldn’t be more thrilled for them. So this week’s cocktail is a toast to the happy couple. We wish you all the happiness marriage can bring.

This blog attempts to collect some of the things I try to create with food and booze. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail. My hope is to entertain and maybe help people think a little harder about what they decide to eat and drink.

This is the Brian who’s blog you sent me over isn’t it!
Wow, congrats to them! How exciting!
Now you know I love the place Manhattan – like, more than anywhere… but whiskey / cocktail… Unfortunately not one for me!

Congratulations to your friends! I have never had Manhattan in my life and when I see the ingredients, I must sadly say I will probably have to wait a bit for this experience: I don’t have any if the ingredients. Such a shame I don’t know how this classic drink tastes!

Congrats to your friends. A fall wedding sounds wonderful. I was first introduced to a Manhattan during my very first tailgating in Chicago for a Bears Game. I really loved the pomp and circumstance of it – the Manhattan, not the tailgating!

Great picture! Although I grew up on that fabled isle and lived practically half of my life there, I have only had a ‘Manhattan’ once or twice in my life, and that was 30+ years ago. This looks so good that I may have to have one soon…now where is that bottle of ‘Seagrams 7’ that I haven’t seen in 30 years?

My grandparents always made these. I don’t think my grandmother drinks them now that my grandfather passed away.
My grandparents had over 50 years of wedded bliss. Maybe it was the Manhattans. I wish your friends a wonderful wedding and a blessed life together.

Cocktail looks yummy! Best wishes to the happy couple. Hope Hurricane Irene doesn’t upset their plans. The governor of NJ just declared a state of emergency and has started mandatory evacuations along the coast.

Whiskey scares me a bit…not too sure why. BUT, there is an awesome bar in Downtown LA called 7 Grand and it’s solely whiskey, so I make an exception when I go there. The first time my friend and I went we asked the bartender to make a drink that a non-whiskey drinker would like. As I should have expected, I got some fruity tooty drink…but it was delicious so I guess I can’t complain, ha! Congrats to your friends, that’s awesome.🙂

The only whisky drink I’m partial to is a hot whisky. I had it in Ireland when it was FREEZING, it’s hot water and whisky with sugar. BUT it comes with a shortbread biscuit. I had about five. I do wonder if the addition of a cherry would of made it more fun too!
